Mom came over today, with matching nightgowns for Mini and I. Flannel Lilac Gingham. I’m so excited. I was going to make one for myself as I’ve been keeping the house on the cool side so my lightweight knit jammies aren’t really enough, some nights. The night gown even fits over my nearly 7month pregnant [...]

I spent a lot of time in the kitchen today. I am not really much of a cook, not that the food I make doesn’t taste good, it usually does, but to get the timing and organization for a meal to be on the table at supper time, well it rarely works well. If I [...]

People have been asking how we got our 2 year old to memorize so much for the video that she and my husband made. Hubby works with her BACKWARDS.
If you want to memorize “I love to craft”. You say “to craft” several times, then add “love to craft” several times, then add “I love to [...]

I’ve been wanting to make one of these for Mini since I saw the pattern on JC Handmade’s blog. I bought the pattern on Etsy. I modified it a bit, as I wanted to use a 4×6 pad instead of a 3×5 as I think 3×5 is just too small. I decided to make the [...]

Okay, the title for today is in no way original, but my day has not been the typical prep for Thanksgiving. Prepping the turkey, baking pies and breads, cleaning the house, all that stuff. I’m going to my grandparents house for the holiday and we are bringing the squash, which I will make up about [...]

November 15 and 16 I’m teaching a 2 day class at Worcester Center for Crafts on using shaping tools with glass beadmaking. I did [...]

Yesterday was a horrible day. I was extremely sick. Not sure what brought it on, and I won’t go into all the gory details, but believe me, they were gory! I started to come around last night after a bowl of “Skinny Noodle Soup”. I don’t know why it is, but when I’m sick, really [...]

Today was a day to try to catch up. I didn’t really catch up, but I did get a few things checked off the “to do” list, such as cleaning out the refrigerator and organizing the freezer. I have my winters worth of chickens coming from the farm tomorrow, and I needed to find space.
